Why frame & unibody repair matters

Your vehicle's frame is engineered to absorb and direct crash energy away from you. Even damage you can't see can throw off how your car handles, how its panels fit, and how it protects you in a future accident. Straightening it back to factory specs isn't cosmetic — it's a safety repair. Our frame work covers:

Computerized structural measuring and diagnosis
Frame and unibody pulling and straightening
Realignment to exact factory specifications
Correction of structural and mounting points
Post-repair measurement to verify accuracy
Full insurance claim handling

Done right, a straightened frame restores proper panel fit, even tire wear, and the crash protection your vehicle was built with.

How it works

Measured, pulled, and verified — so the structure is right before any body or paint work begins.

Estimate & measure

We inspect and measure the structure to identify exactly what's out of spec.

Insurance approval

We document the structural damage and coordinate approval with your insurer.

Frame repair FAQ

Questions drivers ask us

How do I know if my car's frame is bent?+

Common signs include uneven panel gaps, doors or the hood that don't line up, the car pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, or visible creasing after a collision. The only way to know for sure is a measurement — bring it in for a free estimate and we'll check it on our equipment.

Can a bent frame be fixed, or is the car totaled?+

Many frames can be straightened back to factory specifications. Whether it's worth repairing depends on the severity and your vehicle's value — that's an insurance and safety decision we'll walk through with you honestly after measuring the damage.

Is it safe to drive with frame damage?+

We don't recommend it. Structural damage can affect handling and reduce the protection your vehicle offers in another accident. If your car was in a serious hit, have it towed or bring it straight to us for an inspection.

Will frame damage affect my alignment?+

Yes — structural damage commonly throws off alignment, which causes pulling and uneven tire wear. We correct the structure first so the rest of the repair, including alignment, comes out right.

Does insurance cover frame repair?+

Structural repair after a covered accident is typically part of the claim. We document the damage and work directly with your insurer on the estimate and approval.

How long does frame straightening take?+

It depends on the extent of the damage and the body and paint work that follows. We'll give you an accurate timeline after measuring, and keep you updated throughout the repair.
